Students learn a language studying at NTU
That’s right! Students can learn a new language (or improve their existing language skills) in French, Spanish, Italian, German, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Korean or Business English through our University Language Programme.
Students pay a deposit, which is then refunded on completion of the course, so there is no extra cost for this programme.
